IMO it would be nice if you could allow allow some leeway for somewhat redundant threads until you have the search feature fixed. I don't know how others use the forum, but for me personally the forum is about half as useful without a search function when moderated as normal, and with selective finding of older threads being mostly undoable, and yet still any redundant discussion removed.

Don't get me wrong, love the place and all that but being that it seems like there is an indefinite period of time before search is fixed, the policy on moderating redundant threads could loosen a bit.
